Pretty Filipina Taekwondo Threesome

Because the global hype for the 2012 London Olympics is heating up, this blog is now featuring pretty Filipina sports-girls, in particular, our Taekwondo "threesome" - Rani Ann Ortega, Janice Lagman, and Camille Alarilla.

In 2009, they bagged the gold medal at the Taekwondo Poomsae event in the 25th Southeast Asian Games in Laos.

Where's the fighting, you might say!? Well, poomsae, for the uninformed (like me, before I read about it), is a series of martial arts movements used in training. Actual fighting or sparring is another event. I think this is like the "kata" of karate.

Our Filipina taekwondo threesome is a real treat for your eyes and heart. Here's what Eric Caruncho of the Philippine Daily Inquirer said:

"It certainly didn't hurt that the three, who are first cousins, share the same height, physique and - to be frank - good looks. Moving in perfect synchronization, they were a joy to watch".

I couldn't agree more. And it did not escape my attention that our pretty threesome is also a brainy bunch! Ortega is a Sports Science graduate of the University of the Philippines (UP). Lagman is a registered nurse; while Alarilla is a Management Economics graduate of the Ateneo de Manila University. Real gorgeous non-showbiz Pinays (Filipinas), I tell you! 

I am still searching for photos of our Olympians for the 2012 London Olympics. Hope to see more sporty beauties in the Philippine delegation and contingent! I wish you would be the batch to bring home the country's first gold medal! More images of our three gorgeous ladies of Philippines sports!
